| President Donald Trump was aware that his national security adviser Michael Flynn had misled White House officials and Vice President Mike Pence for "weeks" before he was forced to resign on Monday night.
Trump was briefed by White House Counsel Don McGahn that Flynn had discussed U.S. sanctions with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, despite his claims to the contrary "immediately" after McGahn was informed about the discrepancy by the Department of Justice, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday.
Sally Yates, the acting Attorney General at the time, and a senior career national security official at the Justice Department had informed McGahn at his office about their concerns on Jan. 26, according to a person familiar with the briefing. Spicer said that the president and a small group of senior aides were briefed by McGahn about Flynn that same day.
"We've been reviewing and evaluating this issue with respect to General Flynn on a daily basis for a few weeks, trying to ascertain the truth," Spicer said.
